Everything in Cynthia's life altered the minute she communicated with Sky. Given that Sky was a complete stranger to her and that there was a security breach when he approached her, it was an odd way for them to first meet. Cynthia recognized that something had been ignited in her by Sky, even if her relationship with Dan quickly went from bad to worse after that. Dan was exposed for what he truly was from that point on, but Cynthia's conscience kept bugging her for sleeping with Sky.

On the day Cynthia met Sky, a significant event that appeared to be a threat to US national security, even though no one had yet recognized it as such, had happened. A drone crashed near the Capitol and made a scene, which contributed to the traffic jam. Cynthia promptly took on the investigation, and she and her brother Glen, with the help of two IT geniuses, Tim and Garth, discovered a vast network of terrorists. They rolled up their sleeves to engage in cyberwar in order to thwart the planned attacks. How well will Cynthia handle this task ahead of her while managing the conflict between two lovers in her life? Find out when you read Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War by Dorothy May Mercer.

This novel has some things I love about it. I was initially curious as to how things would pan out for Cynthia. She had to work hard with her colleagues to bring the terrorists down while juggling her personal and romantic life, as well as trying to stay hidden and unnoticed. Her courage and drive particularly impressed me, but I questioned their relevance given the situation she had put herself in on a personal level. I must say that, overall, the story kept me so invested in it. The author did a fantastic job with the setting, character development, and overall plot. There were no annoying cliffhangers, and the transition from one scene to the next was so skillfully done. However, the suspense was still there.

There were a few aspects of the book that I didn't like. The strange romance between Cynthia and Sky comes first. The author doesn't seem to have given any thought to what it may mean for Cynthia to fall in love with someone she met in an unusual way. The protagonist of the story wasn't as well developed as the other characters, despite the author's best efforts. In another circumstance, it would have been acceptable, but given the main character's field of work, I believe it was not the best choice. The book's title is just another aspect I dislike. Given the book's storyline, I don't think many readers would be drawn to pick it up without knowing what's inside because of the amateurish title. As a matter of fact, Dan did not perform a role that made him deserve to appear in the book's title. I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars for the aforementioned reasons.

I would recommend the book to readers who are into suspenseful and romantic crime and terror thrillers. While I read this book, I did not encounter any errors in it. This shows that it was exceptionally well edited.

I enjoyed reading some parts of this lengthy book. Ghoulem led an almost good life, and he truly sort peace in all his endeavors. That is worthy of imitation. Great review.

I have read this book, and I must say that the concept of cyberwar was new and interesting to read about. However, some of the characters were a bit underdeveloped. The title of this book also needs improvement. Beautiful review.

It's great that they were able to work together as a team to put a stop to cybercrime. I appreciate the straightforward language and well-written story, but I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the way Cynthia dumped Dan in favor of Sky. Great review!

[Samuel Songs]

Thank you for your review of Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War by Dorothy May Mercer. I agree that the book should have focused more on the cyber war than on the romance. Additionally, I think the book was too heavy on profanity and sexual content, making it inappropriate for younger readers.

[Only Joeseph]

Your description of the book's characters is well-written and informative. Your analysis of Cynthia's character development throughout the book is insightful, and your comment about how she seems immature and juvenile is a valid point.

[E Daves]

What you said about the book's simple and childish feel is perceptive and adds depth to your review. It shows that you have a good understanding of what makes a book engaging and sophisticated. I appreciate how you've mentioned the book's well-edited nature. This is often an overlooked aspect of a book, but it's crucial to the reading experience.
